#i need to look deeper to see what this means
hey im a couple years behind on the most cutting edge of lichen science, does anybody know if they’ve been able to create a genetically new lichen from known compatible lichen components in a lab yet or are the lads still getting away with it out there
Upon reading this post to my father who is a botanist heavily involved in lichen stuff: “Yes there have been a couple cases where the symbiote was created in a lab but it didn’t look natural. Pain in the ass to look up the paper right now though. Probably a cladonia lichen.”
“Yes there have been a couple cases where the symbiote was created in a lab but it didn’t look natural” absolutely terrifying lichen quote
